Top of the Morning

Admit it. You figured the odds of trade war with Canada were akin to your kid's school musical winning a Tony award.

Among all the tweets, the most consequential may have been this one from President Trump, in which he wrote, "Our Tariffs are in response to [Canada's] of 270% on dairy!"

The U.S. has been justifying its new tariffs on national security grounds, not as an economic tit-for-tat. The former remains a tough rhetorical hill to climb, but at least it's a legal argument. The latter, on the other hand, could create troubles both domestically (courts/Congress) and internationally (WTO).

•Breaking: Workday (Nasdaq: WDAY) has agreed to buy Adaptive Insights, a Palo Alto-based maker of cloud-based financial management software that had been planning to go public this week.

The price is $1.55 billion, which is more than double the $705 million fully-diluted value that Adaptive Insights would have fetched in the middle of its IPO range.

•Situational awareness: Tomorrow we expect to get a judge's ruling on AT&T's proposed acquisition of Time Warner, which is opposed by the U.S. Justice Dept. Here's a refresher.

•On deck: DraftKings is said to be speaking with investors about raising another $150 million to $200 million in funding, in order to better build out its sports wagering business. The Boston-based company recently partnered with Resorts Atlantic City to offer betting in New Jersey, and expects that it will have the required licenses by the start of NFL season.

This comes on the heels of the Supreme Court knocking down a federal ban on sports betting, with Delaware and NJ already legalizing, and rival FanDuel being acquired by Paddy Power Betfair.

We also hear that Platinum Eagle Acquisition Corp., the SPAC that earlier this year spoke about merging with FanDuel, has also reached out to DraftKings about a similar transaction.

DK isn't talking publicly about financing, but has told Axios that it's on an net revenue run rate of $192 million with 10 million registered users.

• Sidewalk wars: Last week we scooped that GV is leading a $250 million investment in e-scooter and e-bike sharing company Lime. Now we have some more details:

GV is investing $50 million, which will basically be matched by new investor IVP and return backer Andreessen Horowitz. Also participating is GV parent company Alphabet, with the remainder filled by insiders like Coatue Management ($15m or so).

As previously discussed, Sequoia is leading a $150 million investment into rival Bird, but there will be a second tranche (Delaware filing puts the total at $200 million). Pre-money for Lime is around $750 million, while Bird's pre-money is around $1 billion.

•Jessica Alba's Honest Company last week announced $200 million in minority equity funding from L Catterton. Now there's a Delaware filing (per Lagniappe Labs) for $50 million in new Series F shares, suggesting a large secondary tranche, at a flat valuation to last year's Series E round (which was at a decreased valuation from the mid-2015 Series D, making it an under-corn).

The BFD

KKR has agreed to acquire physician staffing and services company Envision Healthcare (NYSE: EVHC) for approximately $9.9 billion (including $4.33b in assumed debt), or $46 per share in cash.

Why it's the BFD: Because Envision has come under serious scrutiny for its ER billing policies, and going private could further decrease transparency.

Notable absence: Hospital operator HCA did not participate in the final agreement, despite prior reports that it was working with KKR.

Bottom line: "The company has gained business from hospitals that have come to rely on outside contractors to increase the efficiency of some areas, like emergency rooms, that have been financial drains in the past. The company lost $228 million last year, though it collected $7.8 billion in revenue." Michael de la Merced, NY Times

Final Numbers

What happened? A South Korean crypto exchange called Coinrail was hacked over the weekend, with crooks stealing around $40 million of alt-coins. It's a small exchange and a (relatively) small theft, but further highlighted security problems that still plague the cryptocurrency markets.
